I would say because east coast plumbers like to use the stronger machine an get the job done right. The only time I would see the drum machine as being used for myself would be inside a bathroom going through toilet location. But I still get that done with my sectional machine, Next.

I used to work in northern Virginia and used a Spartan drum machine (can't remember the model) to clear main stoppages. I loved it but it was a beast to move around by myself with 125' of cable. Luckily most houses there had a cleanout in the front yard and I would just run it from the truck. Now all my work is in Wash DC. mostly 100+ yr. old houses in Georgetown and Capital Hill. No cleanouts anywhere (unless you consider a running trap one). Most basement bathrooms have a 24" door opening Stuck using a 15 year old k-1500 w/sectional cables that spent half it's life in the shop being repaired. I hate that thing with passion what are my options??? Do they make a mid-size drum machine??
